I dont care about israeli loses in “conflict”. I dont give a fuck about their mourning, they are occupiers and they get only a fraction of what they deserve
I could quote to you parts of the article that explain why this kind of attitude is ridiculous and disconnected from the reality of Palestinians and Israelis that organize with personal danger against the apartheid and occupation but I’d end up copying the entire article. Go read it before playing the edgelord.
Palestinian here. FUCK that shit.
Israelis are occupying our land and genociding us in the open. These attempts to paint them as equal victims only perpetuate the genocide and colonization of Palestine.
Anything less than allowing us our legal right of return and giving us reparations is just letting them get away with their decades of crimes because some of us dared to fight back.
We call Palestinians engaging in these events collaborators, or generously we could use the Zionist/American favorable term “useful idiots.”
Imagine a woman being publicly beat by her husband for decades and finally decides enough is enough and gouges his eye, and then holds an event to mourn both her scars/wounds and his eye. Would you be celebrating it, or would you say “hold up, something isn’t right here”?
You could also read the article you shame people and declare they haven’t read:
There is a difference between you making those judgement calls within your own community and us from outside picking and choosing good and bad Palestinians. The commenter I responded to above has no standing to condemn the people that pour their energy in organizing this event.
In fact from where I’m standing I’m seeing the genocidal Israeli right getting pissed off by this and trying to violently shut it down, so they must be doing something right. Such as:
And there is a distinction between goals, strategy and tactics. The right of return and reparations are goals. These kinds of initiatives are tactics. And you can meaningfully debate with other Palestinians their efficacy or on diversity of tactics but I don’t think the jury is out on that debate, such that would compel outsiders to declare something like this a meaningless joke.
